Around a year ago I wrote this DEP: [deps/accepted/0015-extended-startproject.rst at main · django/deps · GitHub](https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/accepted/0015-extended-startproject.rst)

At the time, I was less busy. Now I am more busy, and find myself unable to find the time to implement it. As the only one listed on the implementation team, that’s a bit of a problem.

If anyone wants to work on this, please let me know. I can provide some guidance, but not much in the way of programming. Though I might have a bit more headspace to do some with a bit of encouragement from someone helping. I would not like to leave this hanging now that it’s been accepted.

Thanks!

Likewise, I could help, though would need direction for sure! 🙂
